Well I ordered the DIP 25moa rail and a SWFA SS 10x MRAD scope on their Cyber Monday sale. The price was too good to pass up, and I was wanting to get one for my future Rem700, so this way I can see if I really like it. I went with the MilQuad reticle instead of the mildot because of how far down the MQ reticle went (more of a "cross" than a "plus"). With the MQ reticle, I only have to dial up 3mil to get to 300yds using the bottom most dot (but I'd probably dial 5mil or more so I could still have some reticle underneath).
Got the DIP rail monday and installed it. The scope objective will now sit about 0.25" above the barrel, so higher than I'd like but it'll do. The scope came today and all I can say on my initial impression is wow! I LOVE the reticle, the glass is nice and clear, easy to focus and definitely very solid. The clicks are very solid, both audible and physical. My other scope the windage is mushy and there is no audible click. Counted the internal adjustment and I have 40mil in both directions, which is close to 137moa which is definitely more than needed (probably didn't even need the 25moa rail but now I've got it lol).
Need to sell off my other scope when I get home. Since I'm on a work shift, I'll be running the SS turrets through their 50 revolutions (top to bottom, 50x) to smear out the grease and lap the threading during my work shift. With any luck, I'll be able to mount the scope and head to the range either Monday or Tuesday. If I can get the reticle figured out then I'll compete in a silhouette shoot at my range next weekend (really wanting to get into competitions). I think this competition goes out to 150yds max. Since it'd be my first one and I don't plan on winning (also am out of match ammo), I just plan on getting introduced to the competition atmosphere and learning the course a bit.
